Raj Sadosh/Abohar/Ahmedabad.
BAPS swamis from around the world together with musical luminaries such as Manhar Udhas performed a series of devotional hymns celebrating Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s divine life and work at Pramukh Swami Maharaj Nagar.
(MOREPIC1) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, “I feel that Pramukh Swami Maharaj incarnated on Earth to establish Dharma, as it has been espoused in the Bhagavad Gita. Hindu scriptures reveal three paths to God-realization – the path of knowledge, the path of devotion, and the path of action. Pramukh Swami Maharaj was a perfect amalgamation of the paths of knowledge, devotion and action. 24 hours a day, he served the people.”
Vivek Bhatt, Chief of Gujarat First Channel, said, “When I was first blessed by Pramukh Swami Maharaj 12 years ago, I felt that God was present in him.”(SUBHEAD)
Kamlesh Gandhi, CMD MAS Services, said, “This festival can be a case study for many management students. I learned that anything can be achieved with hard work and prayer.”
Amish Devgan, Mg. Editor of News18 India, said, “Years ago, Swami Vivekanand represented Hinduism, and today, this is being done by BAPS. Tens of thousands of visitors have given up addictions”.
Devendra Bhatnagar, State Editor of Divya Bhaskar Gujarat, said, “Today, with this festival, we have been graced with a ‘cultural Maha Kumbh’ in Ahmedabad. To sum it up in one word, it is ‘impossible’.
Mahant Swami Maharaj said, “Pramukh Swami Maharaj had reached all corners of the world and found a place in the hearts of everyone, great and small.”
